This plan was available in NZ and was the right price point for me to watch YT on the Smart TV with no ads. Now it's $18/mo bundled with YT Music.

Not for me, thanks.

I use YouTube music because it’s bundled with premium but man that app is so janky, and it often seems to fail with downloaded music for me when out of cellphone / wireless service which defeats the purpose of having downloaded music.

I've noticed it chucks a shit fit when you lose coverage, even when playing downloaded music. It's not so bad when you didn't have coverage in the first place.
